Benny, The only reliable way I know of to do this is to set up a script and have it dump images to a set of JPG files, then consolidate them into a movie. Something like the following. I'm just setting the background so I know when it is done. Note the "refresh" -- that's important (but a bug, I think).
load =1crn; # http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/misc/movie.spt # sample movie creation using a script # Bob Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] # 6:13 PM 8/16/2007 # # movie frame names are 0001, 0002, 0003, etc. # # After writing the frames, Windows movieMaker was used to create # http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/misc/1crn-x2.wmv (1.2 Gb) # using "high resolution (large)" and 30 frames per second name = "C:/temp/movie/frame0000.jpg"; nFrames = 50; nDegrees = 1; thisFrame = 0; width = 640; height = 480; set zoomLarge false; background white; message loop; thisFrame = thisFrame + 1; fileName = name.replace("0000","" + ("0000" + thisFrame)[-4][0]); rotate x @nDegrees; refresh; write image @width @height @fileName; if (thisFrame < nFrames);goto loop;endif; background black; That give you any ideas?
